Like?

I'd buy at that price now if it were weather sealed.

Because being able to take the elements is the one thing it could do that my Panny 20 can't on my Em-5. Otherwise, why pay almost twice the price? I have no problems with the older 20 as far as autofocus for what I use it for, if I had kids that were running around I might answer differently.
